20 Dec, 2019

Does When You Eat Matter?

The presentation covers:

  • Definition and potential benefits of intermittent fasting
  • Periodic fasting
  • Intermittent energy restriction (including alternate-day modified fasting, the 5:2 diet, and the fasting-mimicking diet)
  • Time-restricted feeding (TRF)
  • The circadian clock and its role in metabolism
  • Eating breakfast like a king
  • Breakfast skipping
  • Early TRF
  • Applying TRF in clinical practice

About the Presenter

Dr Courtney Peterson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her research interests include intermittent fasting, circadian rhythms, food groups, and mathematical modelling of metabolism and body composition. The overarching goal of her research is to develop novel dietary interventions to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Peterson recently conducted the first controlled feeding trial of time-restricted feeding, a form of daily intermittent fasting. She was also the first to combine time-restricted feeding with eating in alignment with the circadian clock. She is the lead scientist on five clinical trials investigating how time-restricted feeding affects glucose metabolism, blood pressure, lipids, circadian rhythms, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, energy metabolism, autophagy, and gene expression in humans. Dr. Peterson has received The Obesity Society’s Early Career Research Grant, and she holds a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University and four Master’s degrees.
